Even with me you’re so polite. I’ll take your luggage. How was your trip?

睡了會兒。

Not bad. But, I got a little airsick and wanted to throw up. After that, I took some medicine and fell asleep for a while.
A: 你這次是直飛的嗎？
nˇı zhe`c`ı sh`ı zh´ıfe¯ i de ma?
Did you fly directly this time?
B: 不是。我是坐美聯航的，在東京轉機。

天氣不好，還延誤了。

With the plane change, about 18 hours. When we were in Tokyo, the weather was bad and we were delayed.
A: 怪不得，我剛才去看航班信息，說你們的航班要
延誤兩個小時。

No wonder. I just went to look at the flight information and it said your flight would be delayed 2 hours.
B: 真是不好意思。你等急了吧？

I’m really sorry about that. Were you anxiously waiting around?
A: 沒有。對了，你餓不餓？

No. That’s right, are you hungry?
B: 有點餓，飛機餐一點都不好吃。

A little. Airplane food isn’t good at all.
A: 那我們先去吃飯吧。我訂了你最愛的川菜館。
